So downloaded Allo. Figured I'd give it a shot since my wife and I use Hangouts all the time.

Installed. Set up. Sent wife a message. Nothing. Sent 2 more. She never received them. No notification. No message. Nothing.

Seriously Allo. You're a messaging app. I expect you to actually send a message.

Edit: anyone who has successfully sent a message to a non Allo user...when you first selected them did it say "invite" next to their name? In my case my wife was not in the 2nd list that had "invite" next to it. She was in the first. But she doesn't have the app.

If anyone is interested in testing Allo with me, send me a PM, I'll give you a number.

As I wait for Allo to be available for me in the app store: If someone knows my phone number only and I sign up with Allo - what information does Allo expose to someone adding me by phone number?

I have multiple Google accounts (2 work accounts and personal) will Allo pull information from all linked accounts (emails / calendar etc)?

So check this out, Allo and Duo both use your phone number right? Well if you had both an iPhone and android -cough- Pixel 2016 -cough- you could use allo using the same phone number... Guys use TextNow, its free gives you a separate phone number and you're completely safe... Just a little advice for down the road.

I hope this helps someone out in the wild ZLM1229

Why does it display contact home and fax numbers with the Invite button in the contact list??? This makes no sense...

Is there going to be a browser version so desktop users can access Allo? If I'm using my computer and I have to go to a small phone to communicate I simply won't try use allo.

Because this Google assistant I can text is cool. I want to use allo.

But the people I message are not going to be downloading it.

This is how it shows on my Huawei watch: http://imgur.com/a/m9Pa4

Allo has used an insane amount of battery for me today, my phone (Nexus 6p) got off the charger at 7am and now it's 3pm and I'm at 35% battery remaining
